Blogging about how you're overcoming a difficult financial situation is likely to be interesting to a lot of people. The issue is that it's unlikely to be interesting to his particular clients, who may find it unprofessional or off-putting.

With very good execution, it may be possible to overcome those issues or even turn the whole thing into a positive with his clients. But it's a big risk.

It's also time he could be devoting to productive activities. Blogging and creating infographics for daily posts are time wasters. Given his desperate financial situation he needs laser focus on making cash. Which for most people means "get a job and give up your hobby until you get some savings in the bank."
